Anything that gets tourists to beaches faster should be good. We expect Mojito or Caipirinha finder apps will soon follow.

HEL is working hard to become a traveller's heaven. It won't be the largest airport in the world, but it's certainly going to be one of a kind.

JetBlue is entering a new era of bag fees, two-class seating, and tougher competition from a bigger American Airlines.

If seats become an effective point-of-sale, will airlines give passengers more room to shop in comfort?

As Chinese airlines look to expand and China's tourism continues to boom, this isn't great news for the country's airlines.

We're going to need another class of airline to define Qatar. It's untraditional. It doesn't conform to the luxury mold. A new Upscale-Gulf-All Business-Economy Carrier for the A380 skies? It's a new model--one we can't quite put a label on yet, but suspect will do very well.

JetBlue will likely be the airline adding bag fees in 2015, not Southwest. Forsaking fees for first and second check bags is still good business for Southwest.
